In one of the most dramatic and highly anticipated turnarounds in modern bodybuilding history, Nick “The Mutant” Walker has officially reached the mountaintop of Open Men’s Bodybuilding. Standing on stage under the bright lights in Las Vegas, Walker was officially crowned Mr. Olympia 2026, claiming his first Sandow Trophy, the coveted $600,000 grand prize, and the 2026 Olympia People’s Champion award.




Andrew Jacked achieved his best Olympia finish to date by landing in 4th place. Presenting 3D shoulders, a tiny waist, and improved leg sweep, Jacked cemented his place as an undeniable future threat for the Sandow.

 

What do you think of those physiques?

 

I am impressed the amount of dedication, persistence and hard work it takes to look anything remotely close to any one of those people. I think they look strong as hell, formidable and intimidating. Although I find the physiques from the Golden era much more aesthetically pleasing (example Frank Zane, Arnold)

For me, men's classic have the best looklng physiques, but its always interesting to check out the Olympia and see some of the mass monsters
